Away from the daily hustle and bustle, this historical California Ranch style house has lots of character, and is nearly off the grid. A mix of the original 1940's Adobe home, with updated interior and furniture, adds a unique touch to this peaceful ranch house. The unheated pool provides a nice escape from the summer heat, and the wood fireplace is perfect for the cold winter nights. Beautiful views from every room, and a breathtaking display of stars at night. Minimum two night stay required.

WARNING: Because of the pool, this property is not suitable for toddlers!
Humilde Morada (Humble Abode) is the perfect place to get away from it all. The house is 75 years old, a little quirky, but unique. Even though the house had been restored and renovated, the detail restoration and renovation will take a life time, and their are lots of minor fixing that can and will take place over time. The home is fully equipped, with almost everything you could possibly need. A comprehensive list of what is included in your package can be found at the end of this summary. Large gas BBQ's on the back porch or front patio is perfect for a cookout. Spend the evening around the firepit, or enjoy the wood burning outdoors oven on the patio. The pool is not heated.
We are in proximity of a cell phone tower, so access to the internet is available from some providers, with a data plan. There is a reasonably strong signal for AT&T and Verizon customers, but not much from the other providers. We permanently have an AT&T cell phone in kitchen for guests to use. The main house has only 5 beds (1 Queen, 2 Twin and 1 Bunk bed), but we have more options available for larger groups. We intentionally don't have a TV, but for light entertainment, and to keep the "of days gone by" atmosphere, we have 250 DVD's with a DVD player that can project movies onto the wall: a real treat for kids and teens!
Sitting outside after dark, listening to crickets and the night life, or looking at the stars, is the absolute best way to go! Sunsets are amazing so be prepared for sun downers on the front porch, or enjoy a glass of wine in front of the wood burning fireplace, watching the sunset through the large lounge windows in the winter months. There is an endless supply of wood at the house, so please do not bring your own wood.
Humilde Morada can be anything you want it to be: a great place for a fun family/friend get together, or a peaceful, secluded or romantic getaway from it all.
Even though we do have check-in and check-out hours, we are very flexible with them if we do not have other guests checking in before or after you.

We are about 1 hour's drive from the city of Temecula, at the foot of the mountains. Elevation is about 4000 feet, even though the area appears to be at a lower elevation.
Temecula is the perfect place to do wine tours and balloon rides.
A 15 minute drive from the house, will take you to the small town of Santa Ysabel. Don's Market, in Santa Ysabel, is the closest market to our property, but it has almost anything you could need for a couple days away, including meat, beer and wine, ice and ice cream! If u don't feel like cooking and just want an average country meal, visit the Apple Country restaurant next to the Julian Apple Pie company or any of the other restaurants in the area.
We are 25 minutes from Julian, a small historic town, priding themselves with the best apple pie in the region. Make sure to do a buggy ride, and visit the Julian Pie Company when out there! There are a number of restaurants, but be prepared for an early dinner since they close early in the evening. There are several little shops to browse through, and a great second hand bookstore; my favorite place to visit! When our kids were little, we found boxes of books dating back to when we were kids. It was a real treat to pass that on to our toddlers.
Borrego Springs, is about a 25 minute drive down-hill, with easy access to the Anza Borrego Desert. This is the perfect place for a day trip during the cooler months. Spring time is the absolute best time to visit, when all the wild flowers are out in splendor. Borrego Springs has a few restaurants, but we can recommend the Coyote Grill for a nice dinner out!

I haven't been diligent in writing reviews on Airbnb but shall start to change that :) Anna's place is a gem! It makes a great base for day trips to the Anza-Borrego Desert and in the evenings we were happy to just chill and BBQ and star-gaze on the porch. Everything is as described and house is clean. Very beautifully decorated, well equipped and cozy home. It was cool enough in the day time yet warm enough at night such that we didn't need either the fan or heater. We loved that the property was on a big piece of land and we enjoyed exploring the area with our pup. Anna gave very good directions and clear instructions and response was always prompt. Highly recommended place to stay for anyone wishing to visit Borrego Springs or nearby!

Chloe2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

So peaceful. Actually liked it that our Sprint wouldn't work because it forced us to be unplugged and spend quality time together.

Gayle2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

I stayed last weekend with one friend and we had a very relaxing weekend. The property is very quiet and remote, which makes for a good place to stay when you're looking to get away from the commotion of the city.

Kathryn2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Great place to disconnect from the dayly routine. The house is beautiful and well kept. We will go back!

Eliza2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Anna was very quick to respond to questions and provided all the necessary info. we needed. The house was charming and clean. It's remote, but that's exactly what we wanted. We had a great time and would stay here again.

Shasta2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

WE LOVED THIS PLACE! I am a big fan of “rustic”, but rustic often means dark, old and unkempt. This place was not like that at all! It is really charming and darling on the inside, and creates a lovely feeling of happy and bright, rather than dark and dingy. The house is very clean and comfortable. As the listing describes, the owners have created a beautiful balance between old and new, and simple and luxurious e.g. the old wooden pane windows and hand plastered adobe walls, are beautifully accented with silk curtains. All the rooms have several large windows with beautiful views to the outside. The bedding is a nice quality, and very comfy. It could have been the fresh mountain air, but this was the best sleep I have had in a while. The only thing about the house I didn’t really like (since it seemed out of place), was the carpet in the one bedroom. All the other floors were either wood or Saltillo tile. The exterior of the house is from another era with sooooo much character. We spent most of our time sitting somewhere on the patios, drinking our morning coffee or a glass of wine. We loved it all, but evening and early morning was our favorite time. With birds chirping in the morning, and crickets and frogs providing a loud chorus at night, it was just perfect! I am usually very active, and as much as I was looking forward to doing nothing, I soon found out it was a lot harder than I thought. For those of you that can’t sit still for hours on end, remember to bring a book to read or something to do. Cell service was iffy at best, and going “unplugged” was more challenging than we anticipated. The movies projected onto the wall was kool and different! The place is somewhat remote, but easy accessible. The owner was quick to respond, and provided ample and detailed information on everything. With the help of the “booklet” there was more than enough we could have done in the surrounding area if we wanted to. The ranch was a welcome escape from our crazy lives, and we felt refreshed and rejuvenated after just a day at this place. We live in TX, and even though we are not a stone throw away, we will go out of our way to visit this place again when we return to CA. PS: I appreciate the “no smoking, no vaping, no drugs anywhere on the property” rule. Good and wholesome like the rest of this place!

Lelani2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

My husband and I and our two dogs completely enjoyed our 3-night stay in this beautifully decorated adobe ranch house. The house is on 15 acres, so there’s lots of room for wandering right on the property. The kitchen is fully-appointed with pots, pans, utensils, dishes, glasses, etc. – anything we needed to make delicious meals right at home. We made use of the gas BBQ a couple of nights. After a day hiking near Julian or exploring Anza Borrego, we were always looking forward to coming back to the total peace and quiet that this home provides. It was a perfect getaway for 2 city folks.

Malcolm & Debra2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Anna's place was already my favorite retreat/quiet spot, and she has now added a capacious, elegant, beautiful pool-deck area with an amazing view. If you want the temperature outside to be 15+ degrees warmer, head down to borrego springs, and if you'd like it a little cooler, drive up to Julian - both are less than 30 minutes away. The biggest draws, though, are the setting and the comfort of the house. And Anna is a generous, accommodating, responsive host. I hope to return to Ranchita many times.

Beautifully restored A frame on mountaintop with room for the entire family. Listen, smell, see and feel nature at its finest while nestled in a forest of tall Cedars and Firs with a fern meadow view.

This A frame has been beautifully restored and includes all the conveniences of home. Lots of space, but cozy too. This is the perfect romantic getaway or fun for an entire family. You can get together with another couple or two and really have an economical vacation.

Palomar Mountain State Park is a short drive away. You will find hiking trails and fishing at Doane Pond. You will need a fishing license. You can also take a short drive and take a tour of the World famous Palomar Observatory. This cabin is nestled in the trees on a one acre property which includes a fern meadow. If driving somewhere is not your thing, there are lots of places to take walks right around the cabin. Once you see all the cute rustic cabins around, you might want to buy one of your own!

This aesthetically pleasing cabin is great for a get away trip. It has everything you need, the decor creates atmosphere, and the hosts Teresa and Jim are very nice. I highly recommend this place!

We loved everything about our stay at the Spotted Owl from the decorations to the openness of the cabin. Our children loved their rooms and the tree house. It's a beautiful cabin tucked away in the mountains. As we drove away we promised the kids we would be back this summer!

Veronica2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

This place was perfect for three couples to get together and unwind from the year. It was clean and Teresa was understanding when we said we may arrive early. She met us and showed us around and how to use the furnace. She also provided great suggestions for entertainment. Would definitely stay again.

Duncan2016-12-22T00:00:00Z

The cabin was wonderful. Great place to go and relax. Teresa was extremely friendly and kind. I would recommend this listing to everyone.

wilma2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Teresa was extramely welcoming! She provided all the information needed to know how to get there and once there things to do. The place is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for cooking and a lot of fun games to play. My boyfriend and I went with another couple and we all left relaxed, which is saying a lot. We all look forward to returing at some point.

Amanda2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

It was a great rustic cabin. Very well stocked. My kids played with the games and we used the sleds from the cabin to have fun in the snow. We will be back for a summer trip!

Originally an old apple packing shed, our home has been completely remodeled and decorated in an eclectic style, with antiques and cottage decor. Located on 5 acres and close to the historic town of Julian. Wonderful getaway in the mountains.

In addition to the cozy atmosphere we have created, we recently opened a vintage marketplace in a large barn on the property as well as an architectural garden shop. Guests can shop, and let their creative side explore the unique displays and eclectic home decor.

Beautiful strawbale home on a small organic farm with views of Volcan Mountain. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Walking distance to several U-Pick Apple Orchards. Visit the country and relax. Enjoy the starry nights and the great local hikes.

This is a beautiful home in a beautiful area. You cannot ask for a better location and view. We were so happy with our stay

Travis2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

The home was beautiful, surroundings serene. We saw deer, wild turkey and a cute stray cat during our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with pans and dishes and the appliances are nice and modern. It was clean, with plenty of towels. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is a nice place to stay. The tub is huge and the beds are comfortable. If you desire TV or wifi, there is neither. But the cel service worked fine most of the time, even inside the house. The temp inside the house was fine day and night (October). Cute town of Julian not far away, and mountains nearby for hikes. The host answered all questions and it was easy to find with the directions given. What to bring: groceries if you want to cook in, chapstick as the altitude is high enough to be dry, hiking shoes if you like the outdoors, binoculars to see the wildlife, DVDs if you want to watch movies. Wonderful experience all around.

Lori2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

Chuck was a very good communicator and we were able to book quickly and make plans for our family weekend. The home was well kept and had everything we needed- very well equipped kitchen and quality, clean bed linens and towels which we always appreciate! Thanks for hosting us, Chuck and Melanie! We would love to return!

Evan and Lauren2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

Chuck was easy to deal with and the house was very nice. There is a caretakers yurt down the hill from the house, but the caretaker wasn't around during our stay. The location is nice because it was quiet, but also walkable to a few orchards and wineries. There is no a/c, which wasn't a huge issue since it cooled off at night, but is something to keep in mind. It's a really cool spot - we hope to be back soon.

Andrew2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

Lovely house in a beautiful valley. Very quiet, spacious, perfect for a weekend getaway. Close to Julian and Wynola, and within walking distance of some great hiking.

Kristin2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Chuck and Melanie have a phenomenal place on a gorgeous piece of property with great views. The house itself is beautiful, with a lot of attention to detail. Tons of space, and great character. It was great to have a fire in the evening each night. The bedrooms were great with comfy beds (at least the bed I used) and nice views out of the second floor windows/balconies. This was one of those places that exceeded my expectations, and I'd love to stay here again.

Ryan2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Fantastic and secluded Julian, CA home tucked away in the foothills 5 mins from downtown Julian. This location worked miraculously for our group of 4 who was in town for a wedding in the downtown area of Julian. Chuck and Melanie were super prompt on explaining the surrounding and proximity of the home to the downtown area as well as supplying a fantastic breakdown of events and restaurants happening and open in the area! It really added to a great experience. The lack of wifi was at first a bummer and the tough reception for cellphones, but after a few hours it was almost a relief. The diversity of board games Chuck and Melanie had in the home and the fantastically beautiful starry night you could view from outside without light pollution made your cell phone and using the internet seem like a lesser choice. We were very happy with our stay and we would whole heartedly recommend this place again and again. Thanks guys :)

Andy2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Chuck was an absolute pleasure to communicate with when setting up our travel plans for Julian. The home is actually even better than the pictures show! The house was very clean with plenty of clean towels and some shower soaps ready for our arrival. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to relax (inside and out) from the hustle and bustle of the rest of our vacation. It was so peaceful and the grounds surrounding the house were great. Definitely take a little hike up behind the house for the views. Julian itself is a cute, old town. The house was about 5 minutes from the main street that had plenty of places for warm pie and other great eats. (We loved Granny's coffee and breakfast!) Chuck's directions for getting in to and finding the house were spot on. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps GPS brought us right to the house with the address listed also. Don't debate any longer about staying at this location, we definitely don't regret it and you won't either. We look forward to staying here again next time we visit Julian. Thank you Chuck and Melanie!

Experience the best views in San Diego County at the ultimate peaceful getaway without sacrificing modern luxury.

The best views in San Diego County meet modern comfort in our charming and private cabin in the forest. Perched 5,600 feet above the San Diego area at the very crest of Palomar Mountain, Edgewood offers stunning one hundred mile views of the countryside and the blue Pacific beyond from every room, or from the large wraparound deck and private balcony.
A short amble across the road sits peaceful Palomar County Park; bring your picnic basket for an outdoor lunch. Tour the world famous Palomar Observatory nearby. There are hiking trails all around the area, many in Palomar State Park, also minutes away. Take a book for a swing in one of our quiet hammocks and watch the soaring hawks. Cook out on the deck on your gas barbecue. The sunsets are epic, and at night the stars will burn brighter than you've ever seen. You'll have a front row seat, swaying on the porch swing (turn the outdoor heater on if you're chilly).
Indoors, you'll delight in every modern luxury. Unwind in the big Jacuzzi tub or cleanse your soul in the steam shower (room for 2 in both!) Every window offers another breathtaking vista. Or close the shutters and sleep in; all of our beds are luxuriously inviting. Enjoy a movie in bed, with flat screens with DVD/Blu-Ray players in most bedrooms and living room, featuring Hulu, Netflix and over-the-air TV. We have a large collection of movies and shows, books, magazines and games to keep you entertained, along with free wireless Internet and built-in USB chargers throughout. The intimate living room features a stereo and fireplace to cuddle up next to. The second floor consists of dual master bedrooms, connected by a jack and jill style bathroom. One of the master bedrooms features a small loft above it with a bonus twin bed, accessible by ladder (a fun place to read a book or an adventurous place to sleep). In the other master is an office area, with printer and office supplies.
Our cozy kitchen is made for cooks, loaded with every amenity, including coffee and espresso maker, 6 burner gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, slow cooker and other basic small appliances. Everything is state of the art and the kitchen is stocked with all the dinnerware and cookware you should ever need and filtered Palomar Spring water. Full size laundry facilities are also included.
Despite all of these modern amenities and careful attention to detail, rugged nature awaits just outside your door.
Located just 20 minutes from Harrah's Rincon Casino & Spa, Valley View Casino and restaurants, but a world away, Edgewood is a unique property you won’t soon forget.

Palomar Mountain is located in the Northeast of San Diego county. With an elevation of 6,142 feet, it is a popular camping destination, known for the famous Palomar Observatory and Palomar Mountain State Park, and sweeping views of San Diego and Riverside counties. The terrain is rugged, abundant with oak and conifer tree species, and wildlife such as mule deer, squirrels, coyote, foxes and hawks. There are only 61 permanent residents on the mountain, so while it boasts close proximity to North County San Diego, many casinos, and the Temecula Valley, it is secluded and quiet.

Was definitely an amazing spot, and the cabin itself has been the utmost beautiful place to stay while being in palomar. The place has been stocked and had pretty much accomodated us on our stay, and same goes for the owners. Theyve been wonderful, quick to communicate, and are just all around great people. Would love to come again!

Alvaro2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the location and the house itself! We have rented dozens of vacation homes before, but this one was one of the best equipped homes with the most attention to detail. We could tell that the owners care about quality and a pleasant environment. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were updated and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the detailed communication from the owners and their prompt responses. Our group included a few small children and the home was perfectly equipped with a high chair, a play pen, and toys. We would highly recommend this home and look forward to returning in the future!

Mark2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

This is by far the best Airbnb house I have ever stayed at and my fiancé and I usually Airbnb when we travel. The house was immaculate and stunning at arrival. The views are definitely once in a lifetime views. The house is fully stocked with all you could ever need. The instructions couldn't be more clearer. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend.

The Farm Cottage is located in the Wynola area of Julian, once home to gold rush settlers and pioneers. A former late 1800's post office, the Cottage is now surrounded by big native oak tress and breathtaking views of our vineyard, pastures and the Volcan Mountain range and preserve.
For another great lodging option at JULIAN STATION, please check out The LOFT at Julian Station: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6956637

This 1870's era Farm Cottage was originally built as the local post office at the crossroads of what was a small farming and ranching community (still is!). It's a classy and clean house with a sense of history and place. It's located on a dirt road just off Highway 78 and within walking distance to the famed Julian Station -- a family friendly spot with an organic Mexican food restaurant, 4 tasting rooms (Wine & Chocolate, Julian Hard Cider, Mean and Craft Beer), an old fashioned arcade area, shops and more. The house is set in the oak trees next to our 700 vine vineyard and overlooks part of the Volcan Mountain range and nearby cow pastures. A walk down our dirt road reveals gorgeous rolling green (or golden in summer) pastures, a 400 acre horse ranch, goats, sheep and cattle at well as a few ponds and the stunning Volcan Mountain range.

Located in Wynola, a small village within the Julian area. The Farm Cottage is located in the gorgeous pastoral "Orchard Lane" neighborhood with a dreamy setting and amazing views, yet still located within walking distance of 3 restaurants and some fun entertainment.

We really enjoyed our stay at their house. It was just what we were looking for; nice, quiet, tranquil spot with plenty of things go to do within a short walk or drive away. There are tasting room few hundred feet from the doorstep (with some live music on sundays), antique shopping if that's your thing, and some really good hiking and downtown julian less than 10 minute drive away. We are already planning our next stay with Lydia and Albert. Very happy customers!

Mike And Angela2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved staying at the cottage! We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to live music right across the road at Julian Station, such a nice surprise! The house was beautiful, the views are amazing, and the deck is a great place to spend time and enjoy the scenery. There is a toy area with lots of fun things for kids to play with, so that was a nice added bonus also for our young daughters. Our hosts were very welcoming and gave great recommendations on places to go and restaurants to try. We cannot wait to go back!!

Megan2016-04-26T00:00:00Z

We hosted a baby shower at Albert & Lydia's beautiful home. It was even more beautiful than the pictures and worked perfectly for what we had planned, plenty of seating for guests, a huge kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Albert was a fantastic host, and we were happy to get a chance to meet in person and he told us about the area and the house. All the guests had nothing but nice things to say about the home. We would definitely come back if we ever find ourselves taking a trip to Julian again!

Sarah2016-07-12T00:00:00Z

Albert was very hospitable. We had a great time in Julian. The place is so safe they don't even lock the doors! A big change for me and my girlfriend that drove down from LA. Beautiful place to be.

Quiana2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Albert and Lydia's cottage was the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I. The house sat right off the highway and is within walking distance of all the wynola shops, watering holes, and restaurants. Though the house was so close to all these places, not once did we feel that we were so close to town. The setting felt very private and secluded and was super low key. The interior of the house itself was modern yet charming and was a perfect blend of modern comfort with mountain chic. They even had the original starwars collection on vhs, a collection that I'm very familiar with, thanks to my parents and made it feel even more like home. Thanks Albert and Lydia for opening your beautiful cottage to us! We'll be returning for another stay in the near future.

We stayed her for Christmas 2016. We loved it! It was a cute private cottage with an awesome kitchen. Albert and Lydia were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is just 5 minutes away from the heart of Julian, shopping and restaurants.

Mallory2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay over Christmas Eve. We rented both the cottage and the loft, and would certainly stay with Albert and Lydia again. Julian Station has wonderful offerings for a couple, a family, or getaway with friends. Everyone we met was so friendly and made our trip that much more memorable and enjoyable.

This 20 acre ranch is 5 minutes to downtown Julian, and approximately 60 minutes to San Diego (Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, etc.) There are two wonderful restaurants less than a mile from the ranch. Including one farm to table restaurant. You’ll love my place because of how serene it is. Come here, relax, unwind, and enjoy the quiet and beauty of being in the country! We have one friendly dog and some chickens on this ranch. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers.

Master Bedroom #2 is a large spacious master bedroom. The room has a large walk in closet and private bathroom with a walk in shower. The king size bed can be made into two twins, if needed. The room is furnished with a large dresser, nightstand, couch, two chairs, small table and small refrigerator.

I live in the 'banana belt' of Julian, in an area known as Wynola. There are some wonderful restaurants and an outstanding bakery less than a mile from my ranch. I am 5 minutes from historic downtown Julian.

Barbara is an absolute angel. We were hiking the PCT and desperately just wanted a shower and a bed. We ended up being able to do laundry, Barbara gave us a ride to get pizza, made us a delicious blueberry cake for breakfast, and treated us like family. Her home is beautiful, the bed is like a cloud, the towels are fluffy. It was perfect. From the bottom of our hearts thank you

Carla2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful find! We loved our quiet night away at Barbara's place. The room had everything we needed, including a coffee maker and ample storage space. The home was beautiful and big with high ceilings and lots of attention to detail. We spent the afternoon in town, had dinner at Jeremy's, and then drove a quick half mile back, to sit on the deck and look at stars. We hiked Santa Ysabel West before "checking out"at noon. It was so peaceful... Highly recommend!

Jessica2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Barbara's home is what you might expect if you are looking for a charming place in the rural west to stay. It is on a scenic back road in rocky, Live oak covered rolling hills a few miles from the village of Julian. The house is entirely shaded by said oaks, and there are many flowering plants outside the dozen windows that lend a colorful touch to her open, ranch-style home. The interior setup is comfy and the surroundings quiet. The hot water in the guest bath does take forever to warm, but I found running the shower and the tap at the same time expedited the flow. Prepare yourselves for a restful night of sleep. However, I did view it as odd that there is no wifi given the remote rural setting. That should be remedied, in my view.

Kenneth2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Barbara's place is a wonderful location from which to explore Anza Borrego and the countryside surrounding Julian. She (and her daughter assisted answering questions when I was booking) went out of their way to ensure good communications. Barbara provided strawberries and muffins for breakfast and accommodated our late night arrival. Our room was also furnished with a love seat, making late night reading comfortable and separate from the rest of the house. One has to wait awhile for hot water to reach the bedroom pipes but it eventually flows!

Barbara's place is beautiful, and quiet at night. She is very nice, and was gracious when my arrival was delayed by a road closure. I also had to leave early, but she kindly left some breakfast for me (which was delicious), even though she wasn't going to be up yet. I hope to have a chance to stay with her again when I have a bit more time.

Comfortable large bedroom and bath under the old oak trees just outside Julian

Greg2017-03-20T00:00:00Z

A very nice spot. Barbara was really welcoming and really helpful.

Rick's place is awesome! I brought a big group up for a weekend retreat and everyone really enjoyed the space. Very pretty, comfortable, fun environment.

Meghan2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

This house is fantastic. I stayed with fourteen friends so we had the guest house as well. So much of the bedding is couch beds and cots so not the best for that many adults, but doable and not a huge deal. Other than that, the space is incredible. The kitchen is brand new. Extra kitchen downstairs. The home theater is absolutely increidble!! Wow! The hot tub under the stars. Fireplace. And all in close proximity to quaint town of Julian and all the surrounding nature to explore. We had a fantastic trip and would recommend this place. Rick and his partners were great hosts. I would love to make it back some day.

Devon2017-03-06T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed a girls getaway with 9 friends for a weekend of rest and relaxation, wine tasting, games, and fun. The weather was really stormy so it allowed us time to actually use the great amenities in the house including the theater, TV's, kitchen, and communal areas. The view was beautiful and when the weather finally did clear up, we were able to do yoga on the porch with a very scenic view. We went into Julian and it was less than a mile away. We also jogged around the neighborhood and found it very quiet and quaint. We would definitely return!

New2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

The Volcan Peak property is on a very quiet and peaceful lot with a lovely outlook. The house is very well equipped and we enjoyed the extra amenities, including the hot tub and home theatre. An added bonus was the easy access to Anza Borrego desert and the amazing spring bloom.

Janet2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable beds and mattresses for sofa beds!

Lindsey2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Secluded home minutes from downtown Julian. I arrived at night and woke up to beautiful mountain views. The house is great, a little smaller than I expected and with the guest house really being the basement of a 3 bedroom house. That being said, the layout is great. Upstairs 3 nice size bedrooms. They did a great job having multiple fold-out beds and plenty of bedding, pillows and towels which would make this a great place for families. The appliances are all brand new, with two kitchens one in the "guesthouse" and the other upstairs. Plenty of shampoo and soap, a large dining room table, actually two with another downstairs. Most of the couches are fold out beds also. The internet was fast (my pet peeve), had a nice size TV with DVD player, access to Netflix and Vudu. The bathrooms were modern and well equipped and the water was consistently hot (as a veteran traveller to remote places, my other pet peeve). A clean hot tub, a nice barbeque, plenty of dishes and cups were the piece de la resistance. Finally, the theater room. One word.....awesome! Great projector screen coupled with a killer sound system makes getting the "guest house" by having enough people check-in well worthwhile. Overall, a great stay, we plan on coming back as family every year and will definitely take a look at Rick's place again next year.

Kevin2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quiet getaway and this place was perfect. So peaceful and beautiful and all the amenities you could want! Our host, Peter, was so welcoming and made sure the lights and heat were on prior to our arrival for our comfort which was unexpected and amazing! We loved our stay here. Pictures don't do this place justice!!

Amy2016-11-01T00:00:00Z

Beautiful spot. Make sure you get a 3-D movie to watch in the theater.

Rustic tranquility is this lovely home nestled amongst a mixture of oak/pine woodland with 80 foot tall trees surrounding. It has a tree house feel to it, especially upstairs. The original home was built in 1920s. This is one of several historic cabins in the area. Plenty of natural light illuminates the space with skylights. Rustic fireplace, kitchen wood burning stove (can be used for cooking) and 2 potbelly stoves add plenty of warmth in the winter time.

Relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy some of the best mountain top views Julian has to offer. The Grandview Ranch House sits on a quiet 30 acre ranch. Close to the historic town of Julian and to many hiking and mountain biking trails.
The house is spacious but cozy with a wood burning stove, gas heater in our sunroom ,wifi, big screen T.V. and full kitchen. 2 large bedrooms with memory foam mattresses that will cradle you to sleep. AC in the master bedroom.

The Grand View Cabin has a special mountain top view from every room. Each room is comfortable just like home.

Our time at Shirley's was fantastic! We were taking a break after the first leg of the pct and their place was everything we could have hoped for. Warm, cozy, with wifi and a great view at the top of the mountain! It was great to wait out a storm from this wonderful house than on the trail. Thanks again!

Adam2016-04-12T00:00:00Z

We loved staying here! The property is beautiful and secluded with great views, and the house is spacious and comfortable -- overall, perfect for a relaxed weekend away. By far our favorite place that we've stayed in Julian, and we'll definitely try to stay here next time we go as well.

Patricia2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Our host sent a message letting us know how to get into the house and she left a nice folder with options of things to do while we were in town. We also needed to get something pretty urgently so we had it delivered to us there. We let the host know and everything went very smoothly. The best part for me was seeing all the stars at night. You can't get that near a city. We also went hiking in one of the state parks and we were able to come back relax. Having our dog with us was also wonderful! He loved all the new smells and riding in the car. We had a lovely little get-away that wasn't too far away.

Austin 2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

This was our first airbnb and we had a great time at this amazing place!! The property is beautiful and we loved seeing Trigger the horse walk around the property.

Lorena2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Grandview! The house is even nicer than shown in the photos, and the views are fantastic. The house is only a few minutes from town but feels rustic and remote. Our daughter loved seeing Trigger (the horse) around the property. Just lovely, thanks Shirley!

Natasha and Tom2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Shirley was very welcoming and a prompt communicator. This is a quiet, roomy getaway with fantastic scenery a few minutes from town.

Suzanne2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time at the grand view cabin! It was very spacious and accommodated 2 couples, 2 babies and a dog comfortably. The cabin came equipped with everything we needed. We loved the views and the location just a couple minutes from town!

Danielle2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

The place was wonderful and we had a great time. Definitely, would love to come back sometime. If you want to get away from the city, this place was not too long of a drive away from San Diego, but once you got there it felt like its own little peaceful world. We were up there to see the Perseid meteor shower, and the sky was so clear at night, we were able to see the milky way with shooting stars. Julian is a cute little treat, with the pies and the wineries, too. The cottage was perfect for the 4 of us and a dog. Very clean and nice well taken care of, we just loved the place and had a hard time leaving. Shirley was very nice even when we didn't listen to her very detailed driving instructions and went the wrong way and called her in the middle of the night because we got lost. Thank you Shirley for the great stay and hopefully we'll come back another time soon!

Accommodates up to 4 adults or 3 adults and 2 children
Pets are welcome but I expect my guests to notify me prior to arrival and an additional fee of $25/pet must be paid prior to your arrival. Bringing a pet without prior notice will result in a $50 fine.
KITCHENETTE includes:
small fridge, microwave oven, toaster, electric teapot, french press coffee maker, BBQ with gas burner as well.
** Suite shares walls with other cabin - Some noise transfers **

The Suite is the original cabin built in the 30's. It is about 500 sqft with a living room/dining room/kitchenette, a bedroom and a newly remodeled gorgeous bathroom. The cabin has windows throughout that provide beautiful views of the trees and the mountains. The view of the mountains from the bedroom is my favorite view on the property and you can enjoy it from bed!
*******************************
Note: while this cabin is totally separated from the main house, it does share walls and there is an attic in use above the suite. Some noise will travel. I highly recommend the suite for families and friends who would not be bothered by some noise transfer.
*******************************
Our Big Pine cabin is nearby and was built around the same time. The Little Pine cabin was probably built in the 40's and is on the opposite side of the main house and not as close. (you can't see it from the suite.) Some time in the 60's the part of the main cabin/house that we refer to as the main house or Pine House was added on to the original cabin so they are adjoining but have completely separate entrances and decks.
Whispering Pines Retreat has Rustic Historic Cabins for rent year-round. Our 4 acre property is located one mile east of Historic Julian California in San Diego's east county mountains. The cabins were built in the 1930's and have many of the original features and furnishings. We are surrounded by trees and have lovely views of the Volcan Mountain Range. Hiking, biking, fishing in the mountains and desert. Come enjoy the peace and natural beauty of the mountains, trees, gardens, birds, fresh air, stars...
Each cabin is fully outfitted with everything you'll need for a relaxing get-away. Little Pine & Big Pine have a fully equipped kitchens and Pine Suite and Pine House have a kitchenette. All the cabins have a modern bathroom, all linens, porch with a barbecue, view of the mountains. And we are kid and pet friendly! (Note: There is an additional $25/pet fee that must be paid prior to your arrival)
Explore Julian (1 mile from the cabin), a historic gold mining town from the gold rush, now a quaint mountain village famous for apple pies, wine, and hiking trails.
We have old time seasonal festivals and decorations that make our town even more sweet for your vacation or get-away.
See wild turkey, deer, quail, bobcats, coyote, owls, hawks and much more.

We are located 1 mile from Main street Julian in the Whispering Pines neighborhood. The property is 3.5 acres with 4 cabins. There are neighbors and houses and cars on the road below the property so you will hear and see others. But the trees, mountain views, the stars and the wildlife (turkey, deer...) as well as the beautiful cabins make this location really special.

We stayed in the Pine Suite cabin. Great views, open layout, and Ilana provides just about anything you'd need: A/C, linens, towels, shampoo, body wash, tea, coffee, and more! She is amazing about keeping in touch with you prior to your stay and following up afterwards. My only concern is that the bed might be a little short for anyone over about 5'7" or so but it was no problem for us. The place is super cute and was fairly accessible for my partner who uses a wheelchair (but everyone's needs are different of course). I'd feel very comfortable recommending this place to you next time you're looking for a cute little cabin to rent!

We loved our stay and will definitely be back. My husband and I visited with our two dogs. We enjoyed using the fireplace and relaxing in the evenings. The views of the stars were amazing.

Emma2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

If you want a great weekend in Julian, check out the Pine Suite. It was close enough to everything while still feeling very woodsy. We had beautiful views of snow-capped mountains and can't wait to come back in the summer.

Peaceful, serene, mountain views with yoga deck, horse corrals, & room to hike & roam. Visit Nate Harrison's stone house remains on the property and discover Palomar Mountain's history. Visit nearby Palomar Observatory & Star Gaze most every night. Birdwatch & listen to the red tail hawks & oo-oo of the owls. See Indian Metates by the dozens in the area known as "The Kitchen" right outside this guest house.
Off Grid Power by Solar w/ Generator(s) Backup.
Sweat Lodge, Yoga Deck, Incredible Mountain Views

Surrounded by Palomar Mountain State Park and Cleveland National Forest with Oaks, Pines, Cedars and a variety of wildlife. You will usually see deer everyday here.
We're 10 miles from Palomar Observatory.

My husband and I had our wedding here in mid-November, and it was the most perfect, most magical experience we've ever had. Vicki, April and Bryan worked so hard to get the property in pristine condition -- and even helped while we set up and packed up! They were so sweet and attentive throughout. Vicki has such a great energy about her and really cares for the land and the people she meets. We rented out the whole property for the event and our guests could not stop talking about the view or how cool the property was. We had 100 guests and many stayed overnight in tents and in the bunk house. We are so happy with our stay here, I wish I could give two 5-star reviews!

Michael2016-11-14T00:00:00Z

We recently had a Winter Retreat for our high school ministry of about 60 teenagers and 15 chaperones. We looked into tons of locations and camps but couldn't find one that met our group's needs. I'm so glad none of the other locations worked out because we wouldn't have been introduced to the hidden gem that is Harrison Serenity Ranch. It was exactly what our group needed. Wide open space to relax, explore and enjoy a kind of peace and quiet that doesn't exist in LA. Teens are often brutally honest when it comes to their opinions about things so I was a bit nervous to hear what they thought of Harrison Serenity Ranch. I was pleasantly surprised when everyone said they LOVED it and would rather come back here next year than go back to the camp we used in years past. I couldn't agree with them more. It's now been about 2 weeks since being at Harrison Ranch and I'm still hearing comments like "Gosh, I wish we were back at the retreat!" Bruce and Vicki were amazing hosts! There were welcome notes and stocked coffee and teas stations in every house (bunk house, main lodge and guest house). Bruce was always available for questions, he got up early in the morning to check the power and turn on the back up generator (if we used up all the solar power), and he saved the day for one of our pregnant chaperones who was in desperate need of some Tums. Vicki called once during the retreat and a few days after to make sure everything was going/went well. Our original number that we gave them was about 50 but that shot up to 75. I was nervous that our group was now too big but Bruce and Vicki were totally cool with it as long as some of us were okay with sleeping in tents. They were SO accommodating. We felt so taken care of. Bruce and Vicki, thank you so much! The property and scenic views are stunning! We used the two fire pits for singing and dancing both nights. We used the old horse corral for team building activities. Spent tons of time on the main lodge's deck: playing games, reading, shooting the breeze, star-gazing, (URL HIDDEN) was the central hang out spot. Our group was in awe of the property and the views. Again, it's not always easy to impress teens but they were definitely impressed. From all the pictures and stories, I've already had several people tell me they plan to book part of the property or the entire Ranch. I've been to many mountain retreats in Colorado and California. Harrison Serenity Ranch is definitely in my top 2 places to relax and be renewed. Only possible downside for some (not me) is the drive up the hill. Dirt road for about 5 miles. I loved it. One parent who drove at night wasn't so much a fan. Conclusion...can't wait to go back!

Dustin2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

An incredible place for our retreat. We had approximately 40 people and the location was easily able to accommodate us. Vicki and April were amazing hosts. Would definitely recommend booking for your group's outing.

We had a great time in the city of Julian and a relaxing (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication and check-in was a breeze and we couldn’t believe how private the location was. The set up was very comfortable and our only problem is that we should have stayed longer! Would definitely look to book this house next time in Julian!

Irene2015-12-07T00:00:00Z

This place was perfect for our group! It's a lovely house, stayed nice and warm through the storm. We had no trouble getting the Apple TV hooked up and there are lots of games to play around the fireplace. Excellent house!

We offer 4 private rooms between $75 and $95 per night. Specific rooms accommodate 2-4 persons. All use shared bathrooms. We include coffee or tea and muffins in the morning! THIS LISTING IS THE KING/DECK ROOM (sleeps 2 - see Description below).

Julian is San Diego's back country gem! Most visitors comment on how peaceful they feel when they have stayed with us. This room is on our ground floor. It features a day bed made up as a king with 2" memory foam topper, a private entrance option, giving it direct deck access and three windows for extra fresh air (as desired). It is just steps away from a beautiful, newly remodeled (shared) bathroom .

We are tucked in an area with 4 acre parcels surrounding us and a beautiful view of Volcan Mountain from the whole back porch area of the house. It is very quiet!

Gregg and Maril have a fabulous home in a lovely location, Julian. They were great hosts, most accommodating, interesting, fun and friendly, yet socially aware to leave space as needed. The coffee and muffins were a great start to a lovely day. Gregg was most helpful in coordinating our day's activity as we used his bikes for an amazing 16 mile ride of smooth road and energizing hills followed by a gorgeous off road loop in Santa Ynez Preserve. Then bkst burritos from Carmen's on Main St, Julian to eat on their Patio before picking a few apples and heading to Cuyamaca State Park for an invigorating 6 mile hike and finally heading home happily exhausted. Great people in a great place, we will be back!

lou2014-10-10T00:00:00Z

Our host was extremely welcoming and very helping with providing information on fun things to do while in Julian. Morning coffee and homemade muffins were a great touch! Can't say enough about how gracious the Hosts are!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Gregg and Meril's home. They were exceptionally attentive and communicative. Any and every question we had was answered immediately including recommendations for hiking and restaurants. Super super super friendly and gracious hosts. We felt very fortunate to have stayed with them! Thank you so much!!

Julie2014-09-15T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had such a wonderful time at Gregg and Maril's home! We only stayed one night but we loved it.

Nikki2014-09-21T00:00:00Z

We stayed two nights with Gregg and Maril, their house is marvelous and they were wonderful hosts. Gregg is a mountain guide, he helped us plan our trips.

hans2014-10-22T00:00:00Z

Gregg and Maril could not have been more welcoming and helpful hosts! this was our first airbnb experience and we were very satisfied. we went to Julian for a wedding and had the next day free to explore. Gregg is a local guide and spent as much time as we wanted explaining some of the local trails and sights to see based on what we were looking for. he's very knowledgeable and even gave us tips on an upcoming Yosemite trip we are planning! Maril was super nice and had coffee and muffins waiting for us in the morning. it was Christmas weekend and the town of Julian was way to overcrowded. we look forward to coming back and staying here again when the town is not so hectic.

Deryk2014-12-29T00:00:00Z

I spent three nights at Greg and Maril's wonderful home in Julian. Every night was fantastic. I looked forward, every day after work, to come back their home to hang out in front of the fire with them each evening. They provided hot Peet's coffee and freshly baked muffins every morning, a real treat. Their home is large and so it was fun to have other people staying there as well on two of the nights. My bedroom was perfect and the bed was very comfortable. Greg and Maril are extremely gracious and fun to hang out and talk to. We had many interesting conversations. I highly recommend their home and I plan to stay again on my next visit to Julian.
